Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 10

Gu Jinli sat up in shock, ran to the mud pit, looked at the deep mud pit and asked, "Is the water coming out?"

"The water has come out, the water has really come out, and we have saved the little fish." Mrs. Cui cried with joy. She and Mrs. Yan from Gu Damu's family and Mrs. Xie from Gu Dalin's family had been hauling soil. As soon as the water was dug out, they understood.

Luo Huiniang helped the third grandma to come, followed by Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Ge'er, and then followed by the old mother of Gu Damu's family, Lao Yan.

Lao Yan was supported by his eldest granddaughter Cui Niu, pointed at the mud pit with one finger, and asked in a hoarse and difficult voice, "Is it out~ the water~?"

Old Yan was too thirsty to speak earlier. It was the third grandmother who took out the little water left and forced her to drink it before she could speak.

Yan shi and Xie shi walked over with tired steps, and walked over with a look of joy: "Mother, there is water at the bottom of the pit, we are saved."

After listening to Lao Yan, he said three good words in a row, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The third grandpa was awakened by the sound and knew that the water was out, so he hurriedly asked the Luo family father and son to pull the rope and pull up the people below.

It was Uncle Tian who was pulled up.

He and Gu Dashan dug the soil together. Originally, they were both going to rest. When Brother Damu and Dalin went down to replace them, water began to seep from the bottom of the pit. Brother Dashan said that it was an underground waterway.

The third grandpa hurriedly asked, "How much water came out? What color?"

Uncle Tian's face was covered in mud, and his lips were white from exhaustion, but he said happily: "The water just came out, there is not much, just before the ankles, the water is muddy yellow."

"Mud yellow? We're lucky." The third grandpa smiled so much that the folds on his face were crowded together. It would be better if it wasn't mud gray.

He asked the Luo family and their son to pull out the other people at the bottom of the pit: "The water has come out, but you can't stay at the bottom of the pit for a long time, you will drown people."

The Luo family's father and son were all smiles, and one by one they pulled up the people at the bottom of the pit.

When Gu Damu, Gu Dalin's brothers, Uncle Tian's eldest son Tian Daqiang, Gu Jinan, and Gu Dashan were pulled up, they were all covered in mud and their pants were soaked.

Gu Dashan was the last to come up, after a few breaths, he said to the third grandfather: "Uncle San, the water at the bottom of the pit is pretty good. When I came up, the water was already up to my knees. I took pictures of the pit wall three times. Solid, but there are layers of sand in the walls."

The third grandfather frowned, there was a layer of sand in the pit wall, but the whole deep pit would collapse.

He explained, "Don't go down yet, hang the water jug ​​down with a rope. It's better than an accident if we use some effort to fetch the water."

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was difficult to dig out the water, but it was not worthwhile to cause people to die because of the water.

After the water came out, we had to wait for the sludge to settle. The third grandfather decided: "Everyone rest first, we will fetch water in half an hour."

Gu Jinli said, "Third grandpa, we can fetch water now. I have a way to filter the dirty things in the water and make it clear."

They had been digging for a long time, and now that it was almost dawn, they didn't have much time to wait for the water to settle.

The third grandfather trusts Gu Jinli very much now, and hurriedly asks her to explain the method again.

"Take a jar, knock open the bottom, put straw mats, sand, and gravel on it, and pour the dirty water from the mouth of the jar. After the water passes through the stones, sand, and straw mats, it flows out from the bottom, and it becomes clear water." Gu Jinli explained the method again, and added: "This method was told to me by the grandparents in the disaster victims."

Luo Huiniang used to think that Gu Jinli was stupid to always help the victims, but now she is very envious: "It's still good to help people."

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Yes, those grandparents are old, have a lot of experience, and know a lot of local methods."

The third grandfather looked at the sky and made a decisive decision: "Just follow Xiaoyu's method. Everyone hurry up and fetch water, filter the water, and get enough clean water before dawn."

After everyone listened, they all moved. Several men tied the jars to ropes, put them into the deep pit, and started to draw water.

The daughters-in-law of each family took out everything that could hold water, and placed jars, pots, bamboo tubes, and water bladders on the ground.

The third grandmother knocked open the bottom of a jar and handed it to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, take it."

Gu Jinli took the jar, took out the sand and pebbles he found during earth transportation, cut half of the straw mat, cut the straw mat into small pieces, put them in the bottom of the jar, poured in the sand, and spread the pebbles.

"It's ready." She held the jar and said, "Put the water in."

Luo Wu had good arm strength and took the jar: "I'll come."

Gu Jinli gave him the jar, and found a pot himself and put it under the jar, waiting for the water.

Father Luo brought a jar of water and poured the water into the jar held by Luo Wu. The dirty water passed through the layers of sand, gravel, and straw mats, and when it flowed out again, it became less turbid, but not clear enough.

Seeing that Gu Jinli's method was really useful, the third grandfather asked the third grandmother to knock open another jar, put a straw mat with sand and stones, and pour the filtered water into it to filter it again. This time, clear water came out.

"Oh, the little fish is so powerful, the water is as clear as the well in the village."

The third grandmother was overjoyed, she couldn't wait to fill the pot of water, she took the pot away, showed it to the third grandfather, and then to the old Yan: "Old sister-in-law, take a look, we have clean water, you can drink it at ease, don't save it. ."

Old Yan's throat was thirsty.

Lao Yan looked at the clear water, and her turbid old eyes kept shedding tears... Finally, there was water, and she was no longer afraid that the children at home would die of thirst.

The third grandmother felt sour, took the water by the fire, boiled the water, and then presented it to Lao Yan in a wooden bowl: "Old sister-in-law, drink it quickly."

Lao Yan did not refuse and drank a bowl of water.

At this point, three jars, four pots, four bamboo tubes, and two water bladders have been filtered out.

Gu Jinli looked at the clear water and finally dared to say his proposal: "Third grandpa, those rich households must also be short of water. Let's exchange clear water for food with them."

Several of their families are short of food, especially her family, which is particularly short of food!

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all looked at the third grandfather.

The third grandfather was very decisive, knowing the importance of food, and made a final decision: "Okay, let's use water to find rich households in exchange for food."

Uncle Tian said worriedly: "Uncle Gu, if we exchange water for food, the village won't drive us away after knowing it?"

His family was a foreigner, and he lived very carefully in the village, daring not to violate the rules of the village.

The third grandpa sneered: "The underground water road was found by the little fish, and the water was dug up by us. What can the village say? Change, and then tell the village about the water after the food is exchanged."

It makes no sense that they worked so hard and finally got nothing.

Father Luo walked past the darts and left him the matter of finding rich households to buy water.

Father Luo didn't want everyone to have any grudges, so he took Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, ​​and Gu Dalin along.

They didn't take too much water, they only took four bamboo tubes and rushed out of the mountain to the resting place of the rich.

The wealthy households gathered together to rest. They were on guard against the victims and would not get too close to the victims. There were guards at the family’s shelter on the periphery of the resting place of the wealthy households, surrounding the tents and carriages of the wealthy households in the middle.

As soon as Father Luo arrived near the resting place of the wealthy household, they were scolded by the patrolling nursing home: "Stop, dare to step forward again, the sword and stick have no eyes!"

Father Luo said: "Brothers, we have no ill intentions, it is because we have excess water at home, we will bring the water to the gentlemen to exchange for some food."

Father Luo rolled the two bamboo tubes into the middle and said, "There are two bamboo tubes of water here, one is for the brothers to moisten their throats, and the other is for the gentlemen, please bring them to the gentlemen, we will wait here. information."

The wealthy households who escaped from the famine were also short of water. These home care homes could only be given a small glass of water every day. They were too thirsty. The home care master asked two home care workers to run over to get water, opened the stopper of the bamboo tube, and caught fire to see what was inside. After drinking water, he took two sips and said to Father Luo, "Wait."

A quarter of an hour later, the nurse came out with a man who looked like a housekeeper and shouted to them, "Come and talk."
